1. First, we *are* trying to block Ilias from Bugzilla and the

Using data to identify my person or my ISP-region to block my access (or
the regions access) to the eclipse foundations newsgroup (nntp and
http-gateway) results in a
DIRECT VIOLATION OF THE ECLIPSE FOUNDATIONS PRIVACY POLICY
I ask Mr. Mike Milinkovich (Eclipse Foundation Director) to stop this
violation [abuse of private data] and to enable immediatly my access to
the eclipse news-server via nntp/http.

"
Clickstream Data and Cookies
We sometimes collect anonymous information from visits to this Web site to
help provide better service. For example, We keep track of the domains
from which people visit and We also measure visitor activity on
Eclipse.org, but in ways that keep the information anonymous. This
anonymous information is sometimes known as "clickstream data." We may
use this data to analyze trends and statistics and to help us tailor the
Web site to better serve Eclipse participants.
Also, when personal data is collected from you in connection with a
transaction (such as contribution of code or posting to newsgroups) We
may extract some information about that transaction in an anonymous
format and combine it with other anonymous information such as
clickstream data.
This anonymous information is used and analyzed only at an aggregate
level to help Us understand trends and patterns.
